mail2web live will cost atfter may 1,2009

[nuprotocol]

Hopefully this thread is in the right spot. I'm not sure how many of you are using mail2web live for your touch pros, but I love the service. However, today I received an email stating that if I want to continue the service as I have it now that it will cost $4.95 a month.

I guess $4.95 a month isn't a lot for such an awesome service, but man this kind of sucks.. lol

Any of you guys going to switch to something else or keep mail2web?

Thinking about paying for it since I know firsthand how reliable it is.

Switching to HOTMAIL because it's free. I'll just have to forward my regular email there.
I think Mail2Web was awesome untill they got GREEDY.
I was considering upgrading to their pro plan for the HTML email, but not now...

Noooo! *Crys* Oh well, I'll just keep them until I MS Office.

I just bought a new server, Windows 2008 Server and Exchange 2007 Enterprise Edition with all of the corresponding CALs needed for my company. The total bill was just under $12,000 for the hardware and software. This does not include my time for installation or maintenance.

And you have the nerve to call them greedy? Wow...

$4,000 for Exchange Server 2007 Enterprise Edition, not including the 85 CALs (for employees). Then the cost of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (another $4,000 + CALs), which is well over $9,000, just in software.

Now throw in a quad processor rackmount server from Dell with 16 GB of RAM, three hot swap, 15K RPM, SCSI hard drives in RAID for mail storage (450+ GB) and also two hot swap, 15K RPM SCSI drives in RAID just for the Windows installation (80 GB).

Add in three years of same day, 24/7, four hour response time on hardware, and I say we got a good deal. What did you pay for your Exchange 2007 server?

That's some crazy stuff right there, wish I could afford something like that but I don't think I'll even make it to the $5 m2b, hehe.

But congrats on that setup it looks really amazing.
